DOOR-STOP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 16, 1908.

Application filed March 2, 1908. Serial No. 418,695.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HERMAN PAWSAT, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Sheboygan, in the county of Sheboygan and State ofWisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door-Stops; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description thereof.

The invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and.combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with referenceto the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims; the objectof said invention being to provide simple, econom ical, strong anddurable door-stops, attachable to either vertical or horizontalsupports, each stop in its preferred form comprising a buffer elementand a bracket element in detachable connection, the buifer element being connected to an end or a side of the bracket element accordingly asthe stop is employed in connection with a vertical or horizontalsupport.

Figure 1 of the drawings represents one of my improved door-stops partlyin section and attached to a vertical support, a fragment of adoor beingshown in plan view against the stop; Fig. 2, an elevation of the stoppartly in section attached to a horizon tal support, a fragment of thedoor being illustrated in elevation against said step, and Fig. 3, aperspective view of said stop having the buffer element thereof in thesame position as in Fig. 2. v

Referring by letter to the drawings, the bracket element of my improveddoor-stop that is made from a single comparatively narrow strip ofsheet-steel bent to form a figure having flat faces 5, c, at rightangles to each. other, converging and diverging stretches (1 preferablyjoined by a rivet c, and outwardly extending ears f having aperturestherein through which to drive nails or screws by which the bracket isfastened to a vertical or horizontal support. The end face I) or a sideface 0 of the bracket is provided with an aperture for the engagement ofthe shank of the bufier element h of the stop, accordingly as said stopis intended for connection with a vertical or horizontal support, thebuffer-shank being secured in any suitable manner to said bracket.However this shank is preferably a screw for the engagement of a nut ithat is run on the same against the bracket, as herein shown.

It is preferable, as herein shown, to aperture the end face 6 and one ofthe side faces 0 of each bracket and to employ a buffer having ascrew-shank for engagement with one or the other of the apertures and aclampingnut, whereby the same stop can be used on either a vertical orhorizontal support as may be most desirable. Being organized forattachment to a horizontal support, the floor of a room for instance,the device may be set to stop a doory' at any preferred distance between closed and full open, but its attachment to a vertical supportsuch as a baseboard or wall will permit of said door being swung backapproximately full distance.

I claim:

1. A door-stop comprising a strip of metal bent to form a bracketattachable to a support and having an end and a side face thereof eachprovided with an aperture, a buffer having a screw shank engageable withone or the other of the apertures, and a clamp-nut run on the shank.

2. A door-stop comprising a strip of metal bent to form a bracket havingend and side faces at right-angles to each other, converging anddiverging stretches and outwardly extending ears, these ears beingapertured for the passage of fastening devices; and a buffer having ashank secured to one or the other of said faces of the bracket.

3. A door-stop comprising a strip of metal bent to form a bracket havingend and side faces at right-angles to each other, converging anddiverging stretches and outwardly extending ears these ears beingapertured for the passage of fastening devices a rivet connecting saidstretches of the bracket, and a buffer having a shank secured to one orthe other of said faces of the bracket.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand atSheboygan, in the county of Sheboygan and State of isconsin in thepresence of two witnesses.

HERMAN Pi VVSAT.
